Thanks for all the replies for Bill guys! This is what Net 54 is all about. A brotherhood of like minded collector's who support each other.

Get Well Soon
 

I have only spoken to Bill on the phone, but he is a great guy and I wish him the best for a speedy recovery!

Jeff

Hang in there Bill!! My thoughts are with you.

I was actually emailing Bill when he told me he had to go that he was having major pain on Friday. It didn't sound good then. I don't know Bill but from all I've heard about him he's a stand up guy. I know he posts tons of family photos on Facebook so I know that's important to him. Sounds like he has great support through this trying ordeal.

I had the pleasure of recently trading him some 67s, and he was very gracious and friendly via email. Best wishes Bill, I will send out some prayers for you, and I am glad I was able to contribute to your collection.

An Irish Blessing...
 

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.

I have never met Bill but we have exchanged PMs a few times and have done a few trades. He has always been very friendly and I hope that he pulls through this setback. Keep up the fight buddy!

I have had several run ins with cancer and it is just a terrible thing.

All I can say is Bill keep up the good fight and know that this community is thinking of you.

All the best to a speedy recover.

I don't you Bill, but you have my sincere best thoughts.

Sending Prayers and good karma always for Bill....

Bill and I have exchanged email but never met - even though we are generally from the same neck of the woods: he in Mass., I originally from Maine. Now, some 3000 miles separate us but we are of like mind on things temporal and eternal. You are in my prayers and will remain so. Steve

Any updates?
 

Has anyone heard from Bill since last week, or have any updates on his health?

I don't know him, but from all of the previous posts, he sounds like a great guy.

He and his family will be in my prayers.

3am Friday and i'm back home!
 

I want to thank all my friends here for the kind words and well wishes. Your prayers worked, as I'm home recovering. It's about 3am on Friday, and I am so happy to be just about 'out of the woods' from the infection!
We had a terrible series of tornadoes touch down near us on Thursday. When it was over and the stormy sky turned blue, there was a wonderful rainbow. It made me watch the Wizard of Oz!
Now, I need to stay ahead of any infections and rest. Each one takes a piece of me with it, so it's a good thing I'm a big guy with lots of pieces to spare!
I want to thank all my dear friends here on net54 for your caring, kindness and please remember I love each and every one of you. You are the salt of the Earth..... the greatest group of friends anyone could ask for, and I'm proud to be a member of this fabulous group.
I'll be taking it easy at home and have plans of the entire family visiting this weekend. I miss my grand children and can't wait till they visit!
Thanks again and all my love to each of you and your families.
Bill, Neal, Jimmie Vintage, Jeff, and all of you have a wonderful weekend!
Your Friend,
Bill Hedin

Bill- it's so great to see you on the board! Keep up the good work!

As you can see from Bill's recent post, he is back and doing better. But please keep Bill in your prayers daily. He won this battle but is still waging the war. At least he is back home with his family where he belongs, and he can continue to attack the completion of his 1968 Topps Football set. Love ya Bill!!! Keep fighting!!!!

Hope you get better
 

I am glad you made it home and I hope you feel better soon.

Very cool...hang in there Bill...

Prayers go out to Bill and his family. I have never met Mr Hedin, but a person can tell a lot about him by reading this thread. :)

Bill, I may have attended one or two of your shows and never met you, but man, there is a creedo I like to use a lot. What makes a person a success and a winner? Its not the amount of money, not the houses/cars, not being a celebrity, etc. When people TRULY CARE , you are the TRUE WINNER.

Now, keep fighting Bill and w God's help, BEAT the Devil inside of you for all your family and friends !!!

Great to hear you are at the house Bill. Like my old man says "we can only wish for the best of luck, and keep the chin up".

I love the Wizard of Oz!

Best wishes,
Bob

Bill,
Great news to start the weekend off. Good Luck and best wishes.

Bill, Good to see your post and know that you are home. Now hug those grandkids a little extra, they may squeal a bit but it's worth it.

The hobby (and the world) need more people like Bill.

Thoughts & prayers going out, Bill, for you and your family.

Thank you, Chuck, et al.......
 

Thank you, Chuck, and all of you, for the kind words. You are all near and dear to my heart. I love you all and I consider you ALL my big extended family.
I'm truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends.
My oldest grand-child is almost 3, and she was listening to my wife and our daughters talking about my wonderful friends here on net 54. Little Avery said to me, 'Papa, all your friends love you and Ave-Ree loves you too", and she gave me a big hug.
This was a great weekend, and to quote you in this thread, 'now that we got the great news on Bill, lets continue to have a great week', well, I am very happy to say that it looks to be a great week started already!
Your Friend,
Bill Hedin
